Newtons First Law

Front

What is the definition of Net Force?

Back

The sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

What type of forces are present when the net force is zero?

Back

Balanced forces.

Front

What happens to an object when balanced forces act on it?

Back

The object will not move at all.

Front

What type of forces cause an object to accelerate?

Back

Unbalanced forces.

Front

What is the relationship between unbalanced forces and motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to move.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object at rest?

Back

It will cause the object to start moving.

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces have a net force of zero, while unbalanced forces result in a net force greater than zero.

Front

How do you determine if forces are balanced or unbalanced?

Back

By calculating the net force acting on the object.

Front

What is inertia in the context of Newton's First Law?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
